In Fig. 5, also schematically show corresponding measurement chart, in this chart, except the measuring-signal 12 for correct filling, also show the measuring-signal 19 for the capsule overflowing.At position, 20 and 20 ' is upper, and capsule correspondingly overflows.This point can be by significantly identifying compared with little measuring-signal, and identify by the measuring-signal broadening.According to its width, can very accurately determine, capsule overflows.
In Fig. 6, schematically show measured intensity in unit 10 arbitrarily with the chart that is related to of frequency 21.Two frequency responses are shown, and are also first frequency response 22 and second frequency response 23.These frequency responses, in different filling situations, are produced by corresponding microwave resonator.
For example, among only filter tip tractor is disposed in the measured zone of microwave resonator, frequency response 22 can account for leadingly, and when the capsule of corresponding area fluid filling thing is disposed in the measured zone of microwave resonator, second frequency response 23 accounts for leading.Correspondingly, at operating frequency 26 places, measured amplitude or claimed measured intensity 10.
For the first frequency response 22, also with filter tip tractor filling microwave resonator, measured intensity or title are measured for the signal 27 of first frequency response, and when with corresponding capsule charge, measure the second measured intensity, also claimed the signal 28 for second frequency response.Related to the most herein and the most fast, according to assessment situation of the present invention, wherein, on each measures curve, measured the amplitude under fixed frequency separately, also claim measured intensity.
The numerical value of amplitude is relevant with string characteristic, especially relevant with the filling of capsule and change.Thereby need not obtain resonance curve, also need not obtain the variation of resonant frequency, or obtain the variation (these cause very high measurement cost or expensive assessment) of resonance curve width, and only obtain amplitude, namely the measured intensity under operating frequency.
In addition, warbled signal also can be coupling in microwave resonator, thereby except amplitude, also claims outside measured intensity 10, also can be extraly or alternatively use amplitude under operating frequency to change or claim amplitude slope in order to assessment.This point is schematically illustrated in Fig. 7.Accordingly, crucial in the situation that, can win extra certainty of measurement.Thereby, for example can be as illustrated in Figure 7, when different filter tip parts, measured intensity under operating frequency 26 is distinguished to some extent, as in the 3rd frequency response 24 with in the 4th frequency response 25 situations, shown when operating frequency 26, herein for two kinds of frequency responses, obtained the signal 29 for the 3rd frequency response and the 4th frequency response.Herein, can be to coming from for the slope 30 of the 3rd frequency response and the necessary as far as possible information of the slope 31 for the 4th frequency response used under operating frequency 26.Operating frequency 26 is about 5.8GHz herein.The maximum signal strength signal intensity of the 3rd frequency response 24 and/or measured intensity 10 are positioned at the frequency place of 6GHz.
Fig. 8 schematically shows according to a part for filter tip string machinery of the present invention.Filter tip string 40 is along the longitudinal axis 57, the conveying of turning left from the right side in Fig. 8.In filter tip string 40, by means of 42, two capsules 43 of the embedding wheel in this embodiment and 44 respectively roughly equidistant interval to be placed into or to be embedded among filter tip string with another two capsules 43 and 44.40 of filter tip strings have the capsule 43 and 44 mutually adjoining, and also can be furnished with filter tip tractor betwixt.

The manipulation of the corresponding parts of filter tip string machinery 60 and adjusting go out as shown below:
The rotary speed that embeds wheel 42 is handled by phase-adjusted drive system 47.This drive system sends out corresponding control signal to embedding wheel place or extremely embedding the actuator place of taking turns 42.Each position of rotation that embeds wheel feeds back to drive system 47 as physical location, and drive system 47 provides a phase place actual value to position control 48.This phase regulator 48 sends out phase place theoretical value to drive system 47.These by corresponding, with the lines (these line and curve connections all parts in Fig. 8) of arrow, show.
In addition, microwave resonator 45 is conveyed to position control 48 and quality monitoring and statistical system 50 by the physical location of the string 40 of embedded capsule 43 and capsule 44.The in the situation that of errors present, quality monitoring and statistical system are dished out signal to blowing out device 51 in order to send, thereby corresponding, with the capsule 43 of location of mistake and/or 44 filter tip 41, be blown.
In addition, position control 48 sends a phase place theoretical value to the phase-adjusted drive system 49 for knives rack 46.This phase place actual value is derived from position control 48 from drive system 49.Correspondingly, the actuator of knives rack and/or knives rack 46 is connected with drive system 47.
Desirable and do not have under the defective condition of production, for the embedding wheel 42 of capsule 43,44 and knives rack in its phase position, by correct adjusting each other once, thus desired, with respect to the position of capsule, cut.Yet by the wearing and tearing of forming belt, forming belt (for example, also at Fig. 9 or shown in Fig. 1) in process of production, can be created in skidding of slow generation between filter tip string 40 and forming belt 52.Its consequence is capsule with respect to the cutting position of filter tip 41 systematic departing from slowly.This problem can solve as follows by means of measuring system, that is, in the situation that departs from of capsule system, the phase position embedding between wheel 52 and knives rack 46 is regulated and controled once again by cutting position adjuster and/or position control 48.
In Fig. 9, show the schematic form of implementation of another kind according to filter tip string machinery 60 of the present invention.Correspondingly, also show and embed wheel 42, the parts of microwave resonator 45 and cutter sweep 46.Embed wheel 42 and have vallecular cavity, in this embodiment, only a capsule 43 is presented among vallecular cavity respectively.This is contrary with the form of implementation according to Fig. 8, in the form of implementation of Fig. 8, is respectively equipped with dual slot chambers, and two different capsules or identical capsule are embedded in dual slot chambers together.Capsule correspondingly, for example, is held by suction air, until be delivered in string 41.
